About this time, a brother named George Bauman
was apprehended at Banschlet, in Wurtemburg,
for the faith and the word of God. The
nobleman whose subject he was, kept him imprisoned
for a time, and also had him dreadfully racked
and tortured, and did so much to him, by imprisonment,
torture and pain, and also by various
promises, so that they persuaded him and gained
his assent to follow them. They then demanded of
him, that he should recant in church, and confess
that he desisted [from his faith], which he did
once or twice; went to church, and performed
that for which his consent had been extorted from
him. In the meantime he came to himself, and
considered the honor of God and his holy name,
and also whither he was going.

Hence, when he came to church the third time
for recantation, he said to the priest and the bystanders:
“You have condemned me and through
pain and fear prevailed upon me to follow you; but
now I renounce and revoke it all, and I am sorry
that I did it.” Thus he began, and confessed anew
that this was the divine truth and the true faith; yea,
the way to life in Christ, and that, on the other
hand, the idolatrous life and ways of the world are a
delusion and contrary to God. In this his faith and
confession he intended to continue and persevere
unto the end. For what should the priests and servants
wait any longer? hence they quickly apprehended
him again, and he was speedily sentenced
to death. When he was led out to the place of execution,
he sang joyfully on the way. It was very
muddy in the village, but he walked briskly nevertheless;
so that his shoes remained fast in the mud;
but he took no notice of it, left them there, hurried
on to the place of execution, and sang for joy that
God had again given him such courage and heart.
Thus he was beheaded with the sword. The nobleman
who caused his execution, and nearly all who
had sat in judgment, and condemned him, died
almost every one of them a miserable death, and
came to a dreadful end, so that their happy days in
this world terminated in sorrow.
